This thread is turning a bit silly now, bottom line is that it takes 30 seconds to put something up on announcments, case in point is the fact they stuck on announcments about the wiki being down for a while then they took it off 30 min later when they rearranged the date, its not even about "assuming" when an event is on its the fact there is an announcments screen and it should be used.
Contrary to other reports there are new players to Guild Wars and the announcment screen for those players is a good way for them to keep informed about PvE or PvP forthcoming events.

Maybe they just can't decide what they're doing. <_<

my 2 (local tiny currency here).
SINCE it was not announced last year (or in other previous years)...the person who knows HOW to implement these is no longer working for the company and as such any new announcement (other than a few new ones---and codex was not new, just changed from hb)....wont happen. Seems they have lost this one some where (maybe the person who made them deleted it out of rage?).
but the bottom line is: there hasnt been announcements for the easter weekend many times, so why should this year be any different??????????

I'm fairly certain development of GW2 isn't done by the same people so your statement is pretty stupid.

Very confused now about this weekend.
Edit: no more confused me, they fixed it and only shows Easter event and no 6th year.

Really? Really? |
glad the announcement is up finally.

Let me clarify: depending upon where you live in the world, the 22nd, the 23rd, the 24th and the 25th of april might be holidays.

Indeed, in the UK the Friday, Sunday and Monday are bank (national) holidays.

Agreed.
ANet, step your game up.
WoW has an in game calendar that displays all events for the entire year and is extremely consistent.
If you can't implement an in game calendar, at least decide when events will occur and post them on an online calendar on the official wiki and official website.
Easter and GW's anniversary coincide this year and that leaves last minute debacles on whether some people get to participate in those events at all.
This can avoided better with formal notification ahead of time.
Otherwise, that's just bad game support.

Dr. P, that's an excellent suggestion -- a game calendar. I won't steal your idea, but you should go put that up in Sardelac and claim the plaudits. I'll /sign that one for sure.

Maybe anet had better things to do at the time? Maybe hire a new skill balancer?

Presumably, adding one would cause some casual players to only play during certain weekend (or other) events.

There's always something to complain about. They don't have to do it you know... but it's obviously easter this weekend.
Bellatrixa
I think the real confusion over the past couple of weeks has been whether they would combine the sweet treat and anniversary events or hold them separately and if so, when. People thought maybe sweet treats would have been pushed forward to last weekend and anniversary stuff done this weekend. When it wasn't, people wondered if both would be dropping this weekend and the delay in announcement from ANet frustrated people. I'll admit I took it as kinda written that Easter drops would be this weekend, but I don't think anyone really knew when the others would be and ANet did leave us hanging for longer than they normally do with the announcement for it.
I think that's the most diplomatic I can be about it.

i think the only bad thing about this if but not posting they ended a event early. other wise then sucking not seeing it on the login in screen i dont see how it would hurt anyone.

People here are politely giving constructive criticism on how to get more from the weekend events and keeping the lines of communication between customers and Anet open.
Noone is bitching, moaning, etc.

Sweet Treat Weekend This weekend, from Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) this Friday until 11:59 PM Pacific on Sunday, you will get a double dose of springtime goodness with random drops of Chocolate Bunnies and Golden Eggs in all of the lands of Tyria. OMG HOW DID I DO THAT!!!! It must be magic! |

Kids today, it's all about me, me, me. The easter treats are a bonus (you'd cry more if they didn't happen), maybe you should be saying thanks and not dissing the game for a late message
